How can I do a better job next time I draw this gummy bear? I am going for photo realism.
Tools: photoshop (the latest version), Wacom Cintiq 22HD
My process was:
- beginning with a box to understand the orientation of the bear
- using cones and spheres and other basic shapes to make the form more specific
- beginning with a base red
- adding shadows by playing with saturation
- coloring over everything a few times with a 30% opacity very saturated red
- using the eraser tool to create the translucent areas of the gummy
- adding highlights
